"You take the ring..."

Either take it to an appraiser, or you can do an acid test. You take the ring, scratch it against a rock, then pour a small amount of an acidic product over the scratch. The deeper/metallic the color is, the more gold that it contains, which can help you narrow down how much gold is in it.

jbeezz said: I would absolutely NOT scratch the ring against a rock OR pour an acidic "product" over it. For about $10. you can buy a gold test kit from Amazon and safely find out if it is gold. Or you can take it to a jeweler or a pawn shop.

Someone said: I was hoping for an easy way to do it at home. It's just a small 1.9 gram ring and I don't want to bother my local 'expert'.
I just took up using a metal detector after a 30 year layoff.
So I will wait until I find more gold stuff (I hope) before I bother my Jeweler/Coin Dealer.
Thanks
